VIRB Edit 2.7.0 is available

OK, Falagar, just done it.
What happened is that I've opened the SW and found no imported videos. At same time, a new Database folder has appeared in the VIRB Edit data directory.
So I could import the last videos recorded with Virb, with the new interface that allows to select the videos to import. Good new feature I didn't even know.
Then, after importing videos, I've created and named a new project. Clicked on it to modify it, and....... crash again. Same as before.
Only little difference is that the time Windows took to shut down Virb was way longer than yesterday, don't know if it means something.

You have already seen the screenshot, it is, indeed, the same.

I will wait, again, for a new version of VIRB Edit.

Would it be possible for you to zip up the new 'Database' folder for me and share it with me using OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.? I'd like someone to take a look what might be going on.

Feel free to send me a PM, or email it to [email][email protected][/email] (please state your forum user account name in that case).

Ok where can I go download the older version of Virb Edit? 2.7.0 is completely unusable at this point.

Did you get a chance to send us your log files? It is much harder for us to fix this in the next version if we don't know what is failing for you exactly.

We are committed to getting this fixed, but unfortunately we cannot reproduce what you are describing which makes it very hard to fix.

Will not play Videos at All and therefore useless

This is just to follow up to other comments. V2.7.0 does not play the vid but will play sound. I haven't gotten any further than that. Have removed, downloaded and installed V2.5.2 which works, only barely because the video is so jerky and the audio is not in sync. Couldn't find V2.6.2 anywhere to load, just as well, because it was mostly useless anyway.

Just wish you (Garmin programmers) would get this fixed. It is a terrible distraction for an otherwise great camera and product. Have been editing with Adobe Premier CS5 with success, but really want to include the guages from the Fit files. I see that there are at least two software products, DashWare and Racerender that will do what I want, but I was hoping that I wouldn't have to spend any more money as I would have purchased the GoPro 3 to begin with.]

hi PA3FBO

what kind of token do you have removed and where can I find them?

If you open "SML_Basic_8CharTxt_Open.veg" you will find the following:

"unsupportedTypes":
[
"date",
"time",
"dateAndTime",
"duration",
"pitch",
"roll",
"compass"
],

As no type is supported, the gauge will not show in the gauge-library.

If you open "SML_Basic_8CharTxt_Open_OneDecimal.veg" you will see:

"supportedTypes":
[
"defaultText",
"distance"
],
"unsupportedTypes":
[
"date",
"time",
"dateAndTime",
"duration",
"pitch",
"roll",
"compass"
],

Now copy and paste the "supportedTypes" into "SML_Basic_8CharTxt_Open.veg", just before the "unsupportedTypes".
Move "duration" (notice you have to move the , on this line too) from "unsupportedTypes" to "supportedTypes".

"supportedTypes":
[
"duration",
"defaultText",
"distance"
],
"unsupportedTypes":
[
"date",
"time",
"dateAndTime",
"pitch",
"roll",
"compass"
],


Notice that on the last line ("distance") the "," is missing.

Safe your modified file, the gauge should now show up in the library.

In some of the other Widgets the "unsupportedTypes" are missing, there are only "supportedTypes".
There are also Widgets that contain the following line:

"unlisted" : true,

You will have to remove this line to make the gauge visable in the library.

In short (as I understand it):
"unlisted" hides the gauge from the complete library if it has the value "true".
This tag overrules the other tags.
"supportedTypes" makes the gauge show in the listed categories.
"unsupportedTypes" hide the gauge from the listed categories.

A new version of "SML_Basic_8CharTxt_Open.veg" and "SML_Fill_LongBar_Medium.veg" are here:

We are very sorry for the trouble.

What kind of computer and graphics card do you have? Could you follow the steps in https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?74042-VIRB-Edit-does-not-export-my-videos-What-do-I-do and send us log files?

Hi FALAGAR

After the update to version 2.7.0 it's not possible to create a new video with overlay. at the moment the software is not usable!

can you give me a workaround for that problem?
when is a new version available which fix this problem?
